Polling

#software #web #javascript #angular
There were instances where users filled up a time-consuming form but could not submit it because of reCaptcha failure. Users ended up having to refresh and re-populate the form. That’s some harsh user experience. My team uses a forked version of angular-recaptcha. I located the controller, directive and template for the form. I attached a recursive $timeout at the controller and the directive, but as of now, I have not gotten them to work.

Dynamic Tooltips

#software #web #javascript #angular
I had a tooltip for a switch which contained 2 lines of text. The first line of the tooltip shows how users can fill the textarea field nearby.

Intercepting Angular Data Binding

#software #web #javascript #angular
I have two form switches. Let’s call them A and B. I had to program them such that: When A is off, disable and switch B off. When A is on, disable and switch B off. We can ignore backend logic because I programmed it such that if A is off, ignore B. So, how did I solve this? I intercepted the data binding with a directive. This may not be the best solution, but it was so convenient and intuitive to me!

Style Fixes 1

#software #web #hugo #foundation
I discovered there were some unexpected styles for <code> and <pre> in this site. This is due to Foundation’s default styles. The inline code style was fine, but the same style applied to code blocks (i.e. <pre><code>...</code></pre>), and that was not fine. There was also insufficient margin and padding for the code blocks. I inspected the <code> elements. I found out that Foundation was the culprit. It has been styling the <code> elements on top of what Hugo has in store.
